Irish supermarkets have been hit with shortages of some popular fruits and vegetables due to weather issues in Europe and North Africa.
Many supermarkets, including SuperValu, Tesco and Lidl, have confirmed their supply chains have been hit by the below freezing weather in countries like Spain. As a result shelves that are normally stocked to the brim are low on fruits and veggies such as peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers and even strawberries and raspberries.
Spain has seen weather drop to below freezing in recent weeks which means the produce has been unable to grow properly. While Morocco has also been hit with bad weather conditions for growing crops with issues such as storms and flooding.
